Tuition Assistance

Chaminade Julienne is able to offer scholarships and tuition assistance that can assist families to make CJ possible for their students. CJ and its partners awarded just over $2 million in scholarships and tuition for the 2024-2025 school year. All families are encouraged to complete an online FACTS application — the only method available to apply for scholarships and tuition assistance. If you already have a FACTS account, please use the same username and password. There is a FACTS application fee of $35.

CJ also participates in the Ohio Educational Choice (EdChoice) Scholarship program. This program provides some form of assistance to all families. If your child is accepted at CJ and you qualify for EdChoice, we will help you with that process.

Scholarships

There are many opportunities for freshman through senior students to receive scholarships, generously created and funded by members of the CJ community. Students become eligible for these scholarships when their families complete the FACTS tuition assistance application.

The Ken Hemmelgarn Sr. Memorial Scholarship

Mr. Ken Hemmelgarn was born in Dayton in January 1932, graduated from Chaminade High School in 1950, and earned an engineering degree from the University of Dayton.

He served in the United States Air Force and after his service joined Norwood Tool Company. He started as an apprentice toolmaker and eventually served as president of the company from 1981 until his death in December 2021. During his career at Norwood, he valued hard work and was committed to his employees. He also believed that a good education was the foundation for a life with opportunity and success. Mr. Hemmelgarn also loved sports and enjoyed watching Notre Dame football, University of Dayton basketball, and NCAA March Madness. Throughout his life, he was a devout Catholic and active parishioner. He enjoyed supporting the education of CJ students, and his loved ones hope to continue his legacy with this memorial scholarship.

• Open to all CJ students with some priority to incoming freshmen;
• Scholarship can be renewed each year of attendance at CJ pending good academic standing;
• Economic need preferred but not required;
• Entrepreneurial spirit; someone willing to work hard to get the job done.

Ken Hemmelgarn, Sr. believed that the keys to success were a good education and hard work. While he was not a straight-A student, he was a great problem solver and a tinkerer at heart. If you are a hardworking student, who is excited to learn, you are encouraged to apply.
